Gallo 3.1 vs. B&W 804 vs. faber grand piano

I am looking to stay under $3,000 used. The only one I have heard is the sonus, faber. I liked it. I also have had jm labs in the past, so they are not out of the question either, I like there sound siquature.

The speakers will be used for Home theater use also. I mainly listen to rock music.

What I want is a speaker that is very fast, tight bass, with great imaging. Also I kind of like a speaker to be a little on the bright side, but not fatiguing.

Oh and the amps will be a theta Dreadnaught or Bell Canto ref II's.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Just out of curiosity, why are the Gallo surrounds more costly than the main speakers? My thought is it should be the other way round.

Ryder, The "Front" speakers in that add, are the Reference 3.0 which are not the current issue. Reference 3.1 speakers usually sell for more than that set of 3.0 speakers, and also those surrounds listed in the other add.

I think I am leaning towards the gallo's. It sounds like they are just what I am after. Just how much better are 3.1s to the standard 3s?

Well I think that depends on how bad your audiophilia nervousa is. If I hadn't just bought my used 3.1s for $2K, I'd probably jump all over those 3.0s for $1250. YMMV
